The Museum of Curiosity - Series One<br />
<br />
The Museum of Curiosity, formerly entitled The Professor of Curiosities, is a comedy panel game on BBC Radio 4, that started on 20 February 2008. It stars John Lloyd as "The Professor of Ignorance at the University of Buckingham" and overseer of the fictional "Museum of Curiosity". Bill Bailey acts as co-host of the programme, the curator of the museum and the person who provides the museum's "music needs".<br />
<br />
The show takes place in the museum, in which Lloyd and Bailey ask members of the museum's "Steering committee", made up from a selection of celebrities and academic experts, to donate exhibits in order to fill up the museum. The donation can be anything, no matter how large, expensive, intangible, or even if there are doubts over whether or not the donation actually exists. Lloyd and Bailey decide if the donation is allowed to enter.<br />
<br />
The programme has been compared to the television panel game QI and is considered by some to be a spin-off. Both programmes were co-created by Lloyd and there are several people, including Bailey, who frequently work on both QI and The Museum of Curiosity. As a result, it is both praised and criticised due to the similarity between the two programmes<br />
